Message Board Post:
I found the following article published in The Corydon Democrat newspaper on Nov. 24,
1892, and I cannot seem to find out exactly which Briles' line the individuals
mentioned are connected too?
"Last Saturday a 12-year-old daughter of John Briles of Scott township was dragged to
death by a cow. She was leading the animal to water and her hands becoming cold, she tied
the rope around her waist. In some way she tripped and fell which scared the cow, causing
it to run, dragging the child after it. The cow continued to run until she gave out and
stopped. The child was picked up dead with her back broken. The funeral took place next
day and the remains interred at the Potato Run burying ground".
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
